Dark Green and White Kitchens

If there is one color that perfectly complements dark green in the kitchen, then it is undoubtedly white. A popular choice in this section is the blend of dark green kitchen cabinets and walls with a white backsplash, countertops in white and a ceiling in white. This is the most referred ‘formula’, but you can tweak it easily to ensure it fits with the style that you have chosen for the kitchen. Using marble to bring in the white element also is a smart idea in the contemporary kitchen as it adds a sense of sophistication without altering the color palette.
